Two photographers capture a nuclear flask train approaching Abbotswood Junction in Worcestershire.

68018 'Vigilant' and 68016 'Fearless' were working 6M63, the 1200 Bridgwater to Crewe Coal Sidings, conveying four nuclear flasks from Hinkley Point B power station for re-processing at Sellafield.

The two reactors at Hinkley Point B were shutdown in the summer of 2022, with the reactors being de-fuelled over the next 3 or 4 years.

This was my first day of railway photography in 2023. While the weather was considerably more cloudy than forecast, luck was with me and the cold January light illuminated most of the trains I photographed.
